The Imperial Palace.
After recovering from his injuries, Xiang Yinghan was exhausted, both physically and mentally. He leaned back on the dragon throne, constantly rubbing his temples.
It's been a day, and he still can't convince himself.
Jinjin is gone.
His ideal woman no longer belonged to him.
Xiang Linyuan, he's nothing but a cursed loner who brings misfortune to his parents, what makes him so special?!
Oh, right... a cursed lone star...
Isn't Xiang Linyuan a lone star?
In the metaphysics of the cat demon clan, the lone star is the most easily cursed.
He remembered that Consort Li was most skilled in curses. As long as Xiang Linyuan died, wouldn't Jinjin be able to return to his side?
So it seems that Consort Li still has some use.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yinghan suddenly perked up.
He ordered his men to bring Consort Li out of the imperial prison, saying he wanted to interrogate her personally.
When Consort Li was released from prison, seven lives had already been lost.
Two tattered tails remained, filthy and dragging behind it.
It was incredibly embarrassing.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Yinghan quickly dismissed all the palace servants and personally went over to help Consort Li up.
A pang of heartache flickered in her deep, starry eyes:
Are you alright?
Consort Li suddenly looked up, not expecting Xiang Yinghan to suddenly change his attitude towards her.
Overwhelmed with grievances, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I have told you everything I can. Although I have done some minor evils, I really did not kill anyone."
"Although I am jealous by nature and have framed other concubines, it was all because I love you! Is it wrong for me to want to have your love all to myself?"
"His Majesty……"
"Yes, I believe you. Get up now."
Xiang Yinghan helped Consort Li up, his eyes smiling, his expression full of affection.
… …
Xiang Yinghan summoned the imperial physician, who treated Consort Li's injuries.
He held her and coaxed her gently all night before finally telling her about cursing Xiang Linyuan.
Consort Li understood Xiang Yinghan's thoughts and thought he was finally going to make a move.
They killed Xiang Linyuan and Yue Sijin.
Just thinking about it is exciting.
After Consort Li recovered from her injuries, she returned home and, together with her sisters, created a curse formation.
He cursed the star to which Xiang Linyuan was destined overnight.
A soaring halo climbed into the night sky, striking directly at Xiang Linyuan's natal star.
Under Consort Li's guidance, the formation spun rapidly, but just as it was about to be completed, it suddenly reversed.
The color of the formation darkened.
All the vicious curses turned in one direction, heading straight for Consort Li and her children who were several months old.
Consort Li cried out in alarm and quickly let go: "Oh no! It's a curse backlash! Run!!!"
"We've been casting this curse for years, how could it have backfired?!"
The crowd was terrified and immediately stopped casting the spell, scattering in all directions.
Unfortunately, before he could run two steps, he was bounced back by an invisible barrier.
Amidst the endless chaos, Si Jin appeared before everyone with a calm smile.
Clad in flowing white robes, bathed in moonlight, she resembled an immortal, captivating and enchanting.

My darlings, I have something to tell you.
The previous side stories set in the Republican era weren't poems; they didn't conform to the strict rules of Tang and Song dynasty poetry. Don't be misled by me.
Here's a poem I wrote myself. It strictly adheres to the rules of prosody and is a perfect score on my Tang and Song Dynasty literature assignment, hehe.
To the tune of Bu Suanzi: Ode to the Ginkgo
The cold dew stirs the sparse branches, the waning moon casts a lonely shadow, and as autumn deepens and leaves fall, who will understand my lingering sorrow?
The frost is cold and desolate; with whom can I share my lofty ambitions? I feel resentful for the wasted years of the past; how can I let the wind and snow settle them?
Discussion Questions:
1. What rhetorical devices did the author use?
2. What kind of feelings did the author express?
Let me see where the language arts genius is!
